Recovery stories from clients who faced real data loss.

The failure matters. So do the business consequences, the decisions made next, and whether the recovery process protected the options that remained.

RAID and production SQL server failure

Print production company

ADR was recommended by two trusted technical contacts after a production SQL server and its RAID drives failed. The available tape recovery was not adequate for the business. The client described ADR’s reputation for handling difficult, mission-critical recoveries and the importance of having a credible recovery path when ordinary restoration was not enough.

Emergency RAID recovery over a weekend

Software development company

“Our RAID failed on a Friday just before we were about to go home. We contacted ADR and arranged an emergency recovery. Later that evening, the technician reported that the recoverable-file listing was ready. To my relief, they were able to perform a full recovery, and Monday morning we were back in business.”

Critical work, records, and correspondence

Software developer

After a laptop stopped recognizing its drive, the client realized that current development work, records, documents, and email were unavailable. ADR explained the process, identified the data as recoverable, and prioritized critical folders needed for work. The client emphasized the calm communication and orderly handling of an otherwise frantic situation.

Virus damage followed by an unrecognized RAID

Business server failure

A virus disabled permissions and authentication on a RAID server. After attempted intervention, the array was no longer recognized and the drives requested formatting. ADR’s archived case account records recovery of the business data to separate storage rather than further alteration of the failed array.

Recovered data needed for a critical deadline

Technology director

“We were able to use the recovered data and complete a critical deadline on time. We really appreciate your professional services and would not hesitate to recommend ADR to anyone with a recovery problem.”

A second recovery after accidental deletion

Business-critical data

After ADR completed the original recovery, the returned data was accidentally erased from the destination drive. The client sent it back, and ADR performed a second recovery. His account focused on ADR’s sensitivity to the company’s position, communication, and professional treatment throughout both events.

Historical accounts are not promises of a particular result or turnaround. Recovery results and timelines vary according to the failure, media condition, prior actions, and available evidence.
